CHICAGO erly EW YORE BOSTON ee No Place for the Smug Much has been heard in recent months regarding the progress of Bismarck, both as a city and with regard to its relations with the Missouri slope country of which it is the trading and financial center. ‘This progress {s undeniable and no one appreciates it more than those Bismarck businessmen, merchants and salesman who have helped to bring about both the city’s growth and friendlier relations between the city and the country. However, it is a praiseworthy thing that no apparent Jet-down is manifest in the effort to make Bismarck still tanding among the cities of the state. vm we have advantages is undoubted, but there should be no tendency to brag about them. On the con- trary, the blessings we have should be stated simply and our efforts concentrated on getting more. Bismarck has made progress and it has been satisfac- tory progress. Other cities envy us our reputation as the fastest-growing city in North Dakota. And still more important, they envy us the advantages which have made ble. oy eagle individuals have sometimes eased back in smug content at their superiority, only to wake yp and find that, while they were asleep, some other city hhas been on the lookout for opportunities and has slipped ahead of it. It is improbable that this will occur in Bis- marck. Our people are too wide-awake and progressive to permit that to happen. They know that continual work is necessary to maintain a place in the sun as & trade center in the face of present and potential com- Fu ice that reason that the forthcoming corn show is a thing of greater importance to Bismarck than might ppear at first glance. ‘The vital thing is that it offers Bismarck and Bis- mar¢k merchants another opportunity to add still furth- er to Bismarck’s reputation as a friendly city. It en- ables them to tighten still more the bonds which link Bismarck to the great Missouri Slope trade territory. For that reason, if for no other, every citizen who takes a pride in his town should do everything he can to make the corn show a success and to make those who visit it feel at home. Hundreds of farmers will come here to view the show ‘and to measure, by inspection of the exhibits, the state's progress in the culture of corn. If they think well of us they will come again and they will tell their neighbors about Bismarck. ‘That is important, for the prosperity of Bismarck 1s founded upon the prosperity and the kindly regard of the farmers in this area. To the businessman as much as to the politician, the farmer is the most important citizen in North Dakota. When representative farmers come here to the corn show, or at any other time, Bis- marck may be counted on to treat them well. ‘We are a growing city, yes, but it is a cause for self- congratulation that we are by no means a smug city. A Slap in the Face Sometimes a slap in the face is about the best thing that can happen to a man or a nation. That is, of course, if it is the right kind of slap and taken in the right way. Americans have heard so much that is good about themselves and have been praised so highly for their accomplishments as a nation, that it has been easy for us to think of ourselves in flattering terms. And so, when someone comes along and slaps our ego in the face, so to speak, it is a little startling. Whjoh-brings us to an unusual advertisement recent- ly published in one of the metropolitan newspapers by the Harriman National Bank of New York. We cannot wholly agree with the ideas expressed, but the man who wrote the advertisement certainly knew how to obtain attention. And what he said is worth considering, even if it does have the tendency to make us do a little self- analysis in an effort to find out how good we really are. The advertisement was printed under the heading “Fabulous Wealth of These United States,” and here is what it said: “With 7 per cent of the world’s population, the Unit- ed States consumes 48 per cent of the world’s coffee, 53 per cent of its tin, 56 per cent of its rubber, 21 per cent of its sugar, 72 per cent of its silk, 36 per cent of its coal, 42 per cent of its pig-iron, 47 per cent of its copper, 69 Per cent of its crude petroleum; and over 23 million of the 30 million running automobiles. It operates 60 per cent of the world’s telephone and telegraph facilities, 33 per cent of the world’s railroads and produces and consumes more than 35 per cent of the world’s total elec- tric power. This nation embraces 6 per cent of the world’s area, but it produces 70 per cent of all the oil, 60 per cent of the wheat and cotton, 50 per cent of copper and pig-iron and 40 per cent of the lead and coal out- put of the globe. It holds about one-half of the world’s monetary gold and two-thirds of the tote! banking re- sources of the earth. While its population was increas- ing 60 per cent, its industrial production increased by 300 per cent The purchasing power of the 120 million citizens is greater than that of the 500 million Europeans and is much greater than that of the more than a bil- lion Asiatics. “On the other hand we would seem, by the pessimistic sentiment prevailing, to have about 1 per cent of the courage, % of 1 per cent of the nerve, % of 1 per cent of force and power and % of 1 per cent of backbone of al- most any other one country—England, for instance— struggling along, carrying gigantic debts and with mil- Mons of unemployed, without a murmur of complaint. “Fundamental conditions in America are safe and sound.” We don't wholly agree with the gentleman, of course. Tt 1s too much of a change from thé superiority complex which has made America a pioneer among the nations of the earth and has made many of its people pioneers }in their own land. We who live in North Dakota are 4 one generation removed from pioncer stock and are plenty of the old breed left to remind us that THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Bismarck was founded only 58 years ago. There a too many now living who remember the prairies when farms were few and far between for us to admit that we are lacking in nerve, force, power and backbone. We don't think the gentlemen hit the nail squarely on the head. At least not in the case of North Dakota. Of course, the writer in question was not thinking of North Dakota but of the nation as a whole—and we can't subscribe to his idea as applied to the nation, either—at least not without reservation. Of course the gentleman had in mind our attitude on the current change in the business cycle. As often oc- curs, he was overstating his case in order to obtain recognition of its merits. He was driving at the pessim- istic business sentiment, and it needs to be driven at. But we think he was a little severe. We have too much faith in this nation, too much faith in North Dakota and its people, too much faith in Bismarck and the Missouri Slope country to agree that our courage, force, power, nerve and backbone can be measured in fractions of one per cent or even in small percentages. It may be our ego, but if it is we make no apologies for it. At any rate we are ‘bulls when it comes to the fu- ture of the United States, the future of North Dakota and the future of Bismarck and the Missouri Slope country. Man Proposes But— * ‘The old saying that “Man proposes but God disposes” is never borne home to us more fully in all its truth than when disaster befalls us, either individually or as a peo- ple. Planes fly across the ocean and the inference is giv- en that we have conquered nature; marvels of science and invention are related and we often feel that the human race has lifted itself above its environment, But has it? We can report progress, yes, but not complete achieve- ment. The hurricane which swept Santo Domingo is apt illustration of how puny and inconsequential our achiev- ments really are when compared. with forces over which we have no control and little comprehension. The forces of nature. The forces of God. Man can probably make a wind which would blow 150 miles an hour but it would be confined to a very small area. The wind which leveled the tropical island cov- ered thousands of miles. Man can impound water by means of dams but he cannot create tidal waves or cause the sea to rise in its might until great ships are like mere bubbles on its waves, Yes. Man can do many things. But when we com- Pare the forces which men are able to devise and con- trol with those which develop from sources beyond our ken, we can do nothing else but bow our heads and say with the sage: “Man proposes but God disposes.” The ‘Prosperity Plank’ Dies Political writers have not been slow to point out that the platform issued for the current campaign by the 1928 platform's bland assertion that national prosperity could best be obtained by electing a Republican admin- istration. Every other plank in the 1928 Platform is mentioned; that one is quietly left out. It may be that this will prove a long step. towards healthier political campaigns. In point of fact, this country’s prosperity depends very little on the admin- istration at Washington, If the present G. O. P. plat- form sets a style by recognizing that fact we shall all be better off. In the future, it may be, we shall be able to fight out Political campaigns on the fundamental issues instead of letting the “prosperity issue” divert our minds from the real points at stake, Editoria] Comment The Story of Kraut (New Salem Journal) Sauerkraut and printer's ink make a funny com- spate But it ced ae to be a valuable one. Not{ ve long ago kraut was just a lot of cabbage ground into shreds and ‘put through an old method of fermenta- tion., Then someone looked a little closer and found that kraut is one of the greatest health foods on earth. Doctors began to recommend both kraut, the juice of kraut, and big packing concerns began to can it, They also saw the ity of advertising it—not as some- thing that was ly good to eat but as the greatest strength and body builder that can be taken from the soil. The advertising hit the spot. More kraut and still more kraut was needed to meet the increasing demand. Today it can be purchased, in| cans, in any grocery store in the land—and it is pur- chased by millions of people where before only thou- sands ate it. Kraut, as a lowly son of the vegetable family, has become an aristocrat. Could there be any better example of the power of printer's ink? .

The tree is very ornamental when loaded with the ripe, golden-orange globes. Some of the Japanese persimmons: now being grown extensi the United States and Canada, are tender and juicy, and have the a pearance and texture of custard th a thin silken bag. The fruit, al- though delicious, has not yet be- come popular; , the time may come when they are as familiar to us as oranges or apples, for tainly merits attention. The puckery taste of some of the persimmons is due to a small amount of tenic acid.

It was a modest place of pale-green stucco, but it was cheerful and well-lighted and “homey”; and Dan Rorimer, contrasting it with Anne’s former quarters, could well understand her enthusiasm for the change. “A place to live in,” Anne said, “rather than mere storage for one’s body and one’s belongings.” And she had added: “Even if it 1s too close to the tracks to be fashion- able, it’s a home at least; which ts more than I could say for one room and a kitchenet.” Mona won Rorlmer’s liking in- stantly. She was as Vivid as her|* flaminghair, which was curly and bobbed, and she didn’t look a day over 19, and she was slightly tough {n a pleasant, boyish way that he found altogether delightful. She was considerably shorter than Anne, and more rounded, and Dan suspected that Mona might occa- sionally have to pay careful atten- tion to her diet. He discovered be- fore he had known more than a few minutes that she was quite a tease and that she seemed to take keen delight in plaguing her friends and receiving their banter in return, Eva Harley he liked, too, but with reservations. She had been neither cordial nor unfriendly in her greeting, but after a brief emile and a myrmured commonplace or two had quietly withdrawn from the conversation, and Dan sensed a guarded aura about ber that left bim a little ill at ease in ber presence. She was a striking looking per- sop, though—tall and slender and Uthe of figure, and languorous of motion—and crowned almost spec- taculerly with abundant pale-gold hair. Gorgeous looking, Rorimer thought, at the same time remark- ing that her mouth was just a little too wide and thin of lip to be beau- tt her cheek bones a trifle high, and marring the oval contour of her face, And he judged that she was older than the other two girls. Anne bad said, “Eva's just a lit- tle uncommunicative and mysteri- ous, but I like her—she minds her own business, and that’s saying a great deal.” Dan agreed, “for a girl.” you necdn’t be uncompll- e said with a grimace, and Dan grinned. “Where is she from?" he asked. “Somewhere down south, with that drawl, You can’t fool a Tennesseean.” Anne had that day bought for the kitchen.
